Wingfield War Memorial

The Wingfield War Memorial is a First World War memorial built in 1921, with later additions for the Second World War. It is located in the northern extension of the churchyard of the Church of St Andrew, which is a Grade I listed building, and is surrounded by the De La Pole Arms and The Old Forge, both of which are Grade II listed.

Constructed from Clipsham stone, the memorial features a small Latin cross with an octagonal-section shaft and arms, each topped with an ornately carved octagonal cap. This cross is set within the crenelated capital of a tall, slender octagonal column that stands on a tall plinth. The top of the plinth is octagonal to match the cross shaft, while its body is cuboid, featuring recessed panels where the inscriptions are carved. The entire structure rests on a large square stone base with an elaborate cap.

The main inscription is located on the front (west) face of the plinth, stating: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF WINGFIELD/ WHO FELL IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918/." The names of the twelve men who fell in the First World War are listed on the north and south faces of the plinth in two groups of six names. The rear face of the plinth includes an additional inscription: "1939 – 1945/ (NAME)/."
